With a little prodding, I decided to add a little bit more of Chi-chi into this chapter, but that doesn't take away from the whole plot of Goku and company attempting to come save her. Bear with me fans, this story's starting to progress nicely and I know everyone's eager to know of what will happen to our lovely captive princess.

Besides, I really did have a lot of fun rewriting this chapter not twice, but a third time after reading some extra reviews.

Chapter 6

"So, they found her," Kismet looked in the crystal that showed the traitor in question. "Excellent, and in the best company I could ever imagine…"

"It seems that the earthen woman has awakened, do you wish for me to continue her training and corruption, my queen?" Solset asked.

"Of course, she's close to cracking and soon, not even she could resist such an offer to hurt her beloved husband."

"At once…" Solset walked away from Kismet's throne to the room that Chi-chi had spent the last few days by herself in.


Chi-chi was currently preparing for yet another ass kicking by Uriel; knowing the woman wasn't going to take it easy on her. Instead of the sparring partner, she came face-to-face with Solset.

"Oh, where's Uriel? I was expecting…" Chi-chi started to say. She didn't expect him to make much of an effort in training her; let alone spending more time with her than usual.

"She had other things to attend to, so I will be the one training you for today," Solset waved off the question. "In any case, I have some questions to ask you."

"About?" Chi-chi eyed the male in question.

"About how you ended up with a husband who would forget about your existence," Solset inquired. He was doing everything he could to weaken her resolve.

"Goku didn't forget about my existence, he may forget my anniversary and birthday, but he never forgets about me." Chi-chi spat; knowing she was trying in utmost vain to support her usually absent husband.

"Are you sure about that?" Solset asked.

"Oh, he'll be here, whether that hussy he's with comes with him or not…" Chi-chi hinted at the white-haired woman that was at Goku's side ever since she had seen him last. She already hated the fact that she was trying to come between her and the man she married to; especially when it came to that kiss she had witnessed.

"And if she did come here, would you wish to kill her?"

"I… I wouldn't… I couldn't even do that…" Chi-chi hesitated. Sure, she hated that woman, but to kill?

"Oh, but you're thinking it are you?" Solset suggested.

"I… yes… yes I am…" Chi-chi felt a little hesitant when he mentioned such a thing. If she were given a knife and a resolve, then yes, she'd plow the white-haired woman into a wall and stab her repeatedly. She wouldn't mind bathing in the other woman's blood if given the chance; however, the saner part of her screamed wrongness. It was though it said: 'Goku wouldn't want you doing that if he were the one doing all the rescuing!'

"Be patient. The keys to your revenge are coming…" Solset declared in a comforting voice; one that took the housewife off-guard.

"Revenge?" Chi-chi asked, feeling almost though she wanted to deny that she heard wrong.

"Oh, you'll see… for now, I want to show you something you might find interest…" Solset revealed a portal that showed images of two women lunging at each other in combat.

"A battle?" Chi-chi watched rather uninterested. She almost wished she were the one fighting instead; however, it seemed much better than sitting in her prison cell staring at the walls for hours on in sheer boredom. "Sure, I'm game." At that moment, she was falling into a trap much bigger than she was already in.


The aura crackled around Aminta, no Furia's form. Her crimson, alien eyes no longer held the innocence that she used to have; rather a heated anger that everything she had at one point was being taken away. First her memory, then her allies and now even Rachel, who lay critically injured upon the ground. She had taken care of the mysterious creature after she assumed that the lamb was helpless without her. These losses couldn't go on. She glared at Lurali with a seething anger; one that rivaled what Queen Kismet would have given if she were here at that moment.

"I am surprised you summoned your armor without any knowledge of who you really are Furia…" Lurali spoke in such a bitter tone of voice.

"You'll pay for hurting Rachel," Furia spoke in a deeper, more irritated voice before she lunged at the woman of ice. Unlike how she normally was, this was a woman who was clearly suited for combat. It was amazing enough that she had easily gained the trust of Goku and his comrades. For now, it seemed that at that moment, she was on their side. Yet, who's to say she'd stay after all that's transpired?

The ice female attempted to slow the other with ice magic that grasped upon her ankle; however, a flame appeared and melted the frozen water off with ease. The red-haired woman wasted no time back-handing Lurali into a wall before a sword manifested itself in her other hand. Lurali barely dodged the sword's swiping motion in time, summoning more ice to slow Furia. However, once again, more fire encircled the fiery woman and made it impossible for her to stop.

"It's amazing how Queen Kismet's own little body guard not only forgot most of the magic she's ever known, but also her memories…" Lurali smirked. "It's no wonder you want nothing of this planet's destruction and rather side with these humans in order to prevent it from happening."

"You would really destroy mankind because I choose to side with them? I'm sure there's another reason you did not tell me," Furia glared at the female.

"If you must ask, the other reason is because this planet is unfit for the queen's rule of this universe," Lurali explained. "She said that if it remained here, then warriors would arise to challenge her, including the one you feel quite smitten towards."

Furia's eyes narrowed. It was true she had held feelings towards Goku, but she knew not to pine for a man that was not hers to begin with. Besides, he had made it clear to her that he was off limits and she truly honored his decision.

"My feelings don't fit into the equation of what Queen Kismet has in store. Memories or not, I will stop you from harming any of them." Furia stated. "Besides, that was only a one-time thing, so get it through your thick head that I will not repeat my actions."

"You always were one to go against orders, including the ones in your heart," Lurali chuckled at her statement.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Furia hated this woman even more now. She wanted to bash her through several walls for what she did to Rachel and threaten the female; however, she was at a clear advantage.

"It means you will probably betray your own words," Lurali snapped before releasing a stronger ice spell that slammed into Furia and sent her flying backwards. Half of her body from her waist down was covered in a block of ice as she looked at the warrior of ice in hatred. Fire ran across the ice; however, it remained totally unscathed. "That ice I just encased you in is a level 4 spell. Your level 1 spells are no match for it. You'll run out of mana before it melts."

"If it's just my legs, then you have made a foolish mistake…" Furia suddenly grasped the sword as fire ran up its tip and extended further, engulfing the blade before she swung it at Lurali; causing a burning cut to appear upon her cheek.

"Gah! How dare you ruin perfection?" Lurali screamed at Furia before she ran at her and slapped the female across the face. The red-haired woman's head snapped back from the blow before a giggle, one that sent shivers down everyone's spines escaped Furia's throat. What kind of woman in that horrific state could still laugh when she's been knocked off her legs like that?

"You fell for it…" Furia spoke in almost a whisper before Lurali suddenly found herself in a circle of fire that rose around her. "Pillar of Pyre!"

"A level 5 spell? Curse you!" Lurali's voice echoed before she vanished in the flames. The tablet fell to the ground unscathed from the flames that had ensured Lurali's defeat. Furia's armor suddenly vanished before she passed out; hair flickering back to colorless locks of white. Her lower body was thankfully freed from the ice; however, it looked like she was well-spent for the time being.

"Aminta!" Goku ran over to her and tried to wake her up; however, she remained unconscious.

"Just kill her Kakarrot," Vegeta growled. "She's the fucking enemy."

"She's the only one who can help us find Chi-chi, we can't kill her for any reason," Goku retorted.

"Meh, do what you want, protect that woman and see if the harpy returns," Vegeta stormed off. Piccolo, who watched this argument, had the same feelings about trusting Furia after what had transpired; however, he said nothing of it.

"Daddy, is Aminta going to be okay?" Goten asked. The young boy was holding the ram that was still wounded, but breathing.

"I'm sure she'll be fine once she gets some rest," Goku reassured. "Why don't you help Trunks set up the guest house for tonight?"

"Okay!" Goten ran off to his friend who was at the time watching this silently without saying a word. He seemed more mature and almost mirrored his father's thoughts; however, seemed to not understand the situation that was starting to mount up into a bigger mess than usual.

Once the boys were out of earshot, Piccolo descended from his stationary position and walked closer to the woman's prone form.

"I don't know if she really has any knowledge of her past or not Son, but you are better off abandoning her," Piccolo told the naïve warrior.

"Piccolo, she's helped us get this far, we have to trust her a little while longer," Goku defended the unconscious Furia lying upon the ground. "Besides, she didn't do anything wrong."

"Wrong or not, she is the enemy. She's the reason your wife was abducted and the reason they are coming after us."

"I'm sure that they would have come after us if we had Aminta or not," Goku explained. "As we find each tablet, they will get more and more determined to stop us."

"Say what you want for now Son, but eventually, she will remember. Will you defend her then?" Piccolo questioned. Silence seemed to grow between the Earth-raised Saiya-jin and Namekian warriors that argued about the fate of one woman. Rather than wait for an answer, Piccolo walked off to leave the question itself for the warrior to ponder over.

'If it wasn't for Aminta, I wouldn't have gotten this close to having Chi-chi back…' Goku gently touched her cheek before picking her up and carrying her inside.


"You see? If he really does love you, he wouldn't be protecting her..." Solset spoke while Chi-chi glared at the screen at the mind numbing scene. She couldn't hear what was going on, but she knew it wasn't good.

"He's… he's not…" Chi-chi wanted to deny what was going on before the images faded.

"Then why do I sense hostility towards the woman that he's with? I'm sure he finds her much more attractive than you…" Solset was egging her on. "Besides, he was the one who said you were least important to him… so I see he might desire this woman on a more affectionate level."

"No… he wouldn't… but… but if that's the case… I rather not go back…" Chi-chi felt the tears falling down her cheeks. She couldn't believe he thought she was the least important to him.

"Ah, so do you hate him?" Solset asked. "For lying to you and breaking your heart?"

"Y-yes… he lied to me… he's broken my heart…" The purple aura was very strong around her now. The crystal resonated with her aura. Solset knew it was time since it seemed perfectly in sync with one another.

"Shh… come over here… I want you to take a good look at something… something that will help you get your vengeance…" Solset consoled the housewife. She looked up and noticed the glowing purple crystal and fell into a trance. Her eyes took on the same shade before she touched the crystal.

Suddenly, she snapped out of it as her forearms suddenly were absorbed; the very object she had been staring at was starting to drag her into its surface.

"W-what's going on?" Chi-chi struggled in vain as ripples appeared where her hands had submerged into its surface. On the other side, she saw a shadow as it grasped the human's hands and dragged her inside. The last ripples faded upon her entrance and within the crystal, Chi-chi's body hovered in a suspended state; her eyes frozen open and holding a much more violent hue than they did earlier.

'You are no longer Son Chi-chi… from this moment on, you will disregard everything you are… and become Morana… the servant of Queen Kismet… the key to Earth's destruction…'


"V-Videl! Be careful!" Mr. Satan pleaded to his daughter who was at that moment crawling towards the area inside the temple where the second to last tablet was located. They could have asked Buu, but he was currently pre-occupied studying the cocoa when he learned it was one of the many ingredients for his favorite pastime snack. Gohan and Mr. Satan were too big for the opening; leaving Videl just small enough to get inside the cavern's walls.

"I'm almost there…" Videl's voice echoed from within the place. Her hand slid across the tablet in front of her when suddenly, she felt a sharp sting. Yelping in pain, she grasped the flat object and began to crawl out.

"Videl! Are you alright?" Gohan asked in worry. The female continued to crawl frantically, but her vision began blur.

"Don't worry about me Gohan…" Videl spoke in such a calm voice, but she knew something was amiss. With very little time, she slid the tablet towards the exit as Gohan waited with bated breath for Videl to follow. However, she did not come out.

"Videl? Videl!" Gohan started digging at the wall while Mr. Satan stood by in pure worry.

"Oh no, what have I done? I ended up letting her die!" Mr. Satan muttered.

"She's not dead!" Gohan growled, his hands digging into the wall. "Videl, answer me!"

Though Gohan was getting to her, another already had their hands upon her before they vanished with the female in question. Whoever this was didn't spare any expense in taking yet another troubled heart.

'The child of a man who had lied to her on more than one occasion… an excellent addition to our collection… I cannot wait to see about her corruption…'


"Goku!" Chi-chi's voice called out from over the ravine. The Earth-raised Saiya-jin saw his beloved hanging by a thin rope. He tried to call out to his chi to fly to her; however, he found it was not doable for some odd reason. Her hand slipped as she called to him again in utmost fear.

"Chi-chi! Hang on!" he cried desperately to his wife; encouraging her to not fall while he attempted to find another plan to rescue her safely. However, his words fell on deaf ears as her hand slipped entirely and started free falling towards a dark pit that seemed almost endless.

"GOKU!" Chi-chi's voice echoed as she vanished into the impending darkness

"CHI-CHI!"

Goku woke with a start, realizing that it was morning. Furia was nowhere to be seen; almost though she had vanished after the nightmare he had. He dreamt that Chi-chi had died and because of that, he began to blame himself again for letting her get captured. Wasting no time getting dressed, he walked outside to see Furia now training by herself. Despite the temperatures raging, she swung the sword that she managed to manifest with the rest of her armor. Nearby, he noticed the bandaged Rachel in her humanoid form sitting there watching in pure interest.

"Aminta, are you alright?" Goku called out. This caused the woman who had trained in the brutal sun's light to stop and look over at him. Despite the alien appearance she had taken on, sweat seemed to glisten upon her pale flesh all the same.

"You don't have to call me Aminta anymore if you don't want to," Furia spoke softly, wiping away the offending liquid from her brow. If anything, her eyes held sorrow instead of anger at that moment; sorrow that seemed almost though she were debating about revealing something important. "I feel like I lied to you when I gave you that name, but I honestly don't remember anything about my past before I started to get to know you. It was one of the two things I could remember."

"What was the other thing you could remember?" The woman cringed slightly, knowing it would help to say it rather than hide the issue.

"The other was… death…" Furia made both the weapon and armor vanish in thin air; however, she did not faint this time. It was though she had worked on her endurance after summoning the armor the night before without knowledge of it.

"You look hot…" Goku spoke in a serious tone.

"I'll be fine in a bit," Furia commented before going over to the shade. Rachel followed, rather eager to be by her master's side a while longer.


By the time everyone had finished their preparations, the sun was already high in the sky. Goten and Trunks ran over to where the others were. The only ones still arriving were Furia, Goku and Rachel; the three of them seemed rather uneasy about a talk that had taken place moments ago.

"Hey dad, why do you hate Aminta so much? Who cares if she's Furia," Trunks asked.

"Because she could be leading us into a trap," Vegeta growled. "I just wish Kakarrot would just kill her."

"Vegeta, for the last time, I'm not going to…" Goku started to say when he saw a sword manifest in Furia's hand. The traitor wasted no time holding it towards the cold-hearted warrior. It was though she were testing him, seeing if he was really intentional at the idea of killing a woman who had yet to back stab them.

"If you really want to, then kill me," Furia spoke in a serious tone. "You seem to think I'm going to betray you when I have absolutely no idea what's going on."

Vegeta reached for the sword; however, Goku stood in between Furia and the Saiya-jin prince. It was almost though he was sparing the worst enemy in the universe from being executed.

"Get out of the way clown!" Vegeta yelled.

"Goku, it's alright, if he wants to kill me…" Furia had her eyes clenched shut, looking away in angst. "I'm a traitor and…"

"No one's killing anyone right now, traitor or not," Goku spoke in such a warning tone. "What's important is finding the last tablet. If you have to point fingers, do it after we save Chi-chi from Queen Solset."

"What if she doesn't want to get saved?" Vegeta countered. "What if they managed to get her drive her to the point where she no longer loves you like she had?"

"She's much stronger than that," Goku ended the conversation by grabbing Furia and launching into the sky. Rachel meanwhile cried out a horrid 'baa' when she saw her master getting carried away and tried chasing after the Earth-raised Saiya-jin on foot. Goten grabbed Rachel gently and flew off after his father. Slowly, everyone else followed suit; knowing that right now, there was a great deal of tension within the group about sparing Furia's life.

Still, is one life worth more than a million others?
